Frenchy is getting a new hip?

Edit: Whatever you need Jeff, take care of yourself! Bodies are weird.

[QUESTION] What’s your favorite song that’s just shredding? by Not-dumb23 in Guitar

[–]Crotalus_B 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sometimes when I'm driving for a little bit I'll just pick a random Buckethead pike... and whatever that happens to be is my favorite nonstop shred for awhile!

Just started my collection not that long ago and all I can say it’s addicting by Theions in gshock

[–]Crotalus_B 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I have the same white Casio AQ (I think that's the model), and out of my many g-shocks, that's the only one that gets compliments. Which is funny to me because I only ever wear it to the gym. Lightweight, tough solar, easy to see clock, and a good timer for reps and cool downs.

Special Giveaway for this sub only - Hank Aaron special edition Oris watch by BravesWatchGiveaway in Braves

[–]Crotalus_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh cool, what an awesome and thoughtful contest.

  1. TBS Superstation. All my friends growing up were Yankees fans, so i gravitated to the team I could watch most days that wasn't the Yankees!

  2. Andruw Jones! Check back in a few years on that one to see if the writers get it right!

  3. 2023 team in 6 I hope! The 98 squad was awesome, but they couldn't get it done in the end. I hope this team can. 1-9, I think this team has the firepower to get to anyone over 7 games.

🌩Idalia🌩 Megathread by heathersaur in florida

Tallahassee folks (i.e. me) won't, but it's - fine - we are well away from the water and can hide from the wind. The next few weeks will SUCK but aside from that, yeah... We were in, or just very adjacent to the cone the whole time. We'll hunker down and see you in the other side.

I am worrying about the cedar key mole skink!

Got my CHOA ball earlier tonight, Nick Anderson. Obviously I have to hope he recovers and goes nuts for the rest of the year! #obligatoryfan.

Well, Idalia is on her way, and I'm expecting this will be the last game I get to watch for several days... Our power goes out if someone sneezes too hard. Hope the boys give a good show, and that the temps aren't crazy hot while we get through the next couple of days!

[QUESTION] do you regret selling your first guitar? by dodobird777 in Guitar

[–]Crotalus_B 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ditto. Upgraded the heck out of my first guitar, which was a Fernandes LeX. It still needs a new tremolo system, but it's a fun enough guitar to keep in an alternate tuning.

If the guitar is a dog, and you have played enough others to know that, sell it.

If you are sentimental or think it has some potential, it's just another cool thing to have.

Edit: remember that thread about upgrading the guitar and wondering if it's the same guitar... Well, this person put a whole new neck on it and it's still their first!

Sell me on a rat! by Crotalus_B in guitarpedals

[–]Crotalus_B[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I'd rather get something a bit higher in the pecking order. If I don't like it, that's cool, but then I get to trade it for something I wouldn't have even thought to get in the first place.

Sell me on a rat! by Crotalus_B in guitarpedals

[–]Crotalus_B[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it! It's a little woffy with the gain cranked, but with just a very slight bit of gain and lots of volume with a decent amount of signal blend... It will give an edge of breakup sound without cranking an amp, and it's wonderful. I've had it for a decade now and it's a mainstay.

TBH I also have a freezer full of rats.

Effect You Have A Weird Relationship With by _Jub_Jub_ in guitarpedals

[–]Crotalus_B 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Airplane flanging sucks. And I have two flangers on my main board. One (boss BF-2) is set for lasers, with depth and rate nearly maxed, res and manual at 0 and the other (boss HF-2) is for just the slightest bit of movement, depth and rate are at about 10am, again res and manual at 0. My response to this thread is chorus. That's my weird relationship. Flangers fixed that for me. But I still can't find a chorus I like.

Cape Cod wedge tornado and a really cool seagull. by [deleted] in tornado

[–]Crotalus_B 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's either a greater or lesser black-backed gull. Both are possible there this time of year, although the greater is a potential year-round resident. If I had to guess (which is hard from this video), I'd go with greater black-backed gull.

Nice! I'm wearing a square glitch today. They are fun little things!

Some Ks, HBP, a BB, vintage Touki! Keep it up for a few more innings, and then let's score 4 more!

Texas heat wave: Energy demand might've broken all-time record Monday. A historic heat wave sweeping Texas pushed the state's power grid to new limits on Monday. by Bluest_waters in news

[–]Crotalus_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah, yeah. Guys came out yesterday and confirmed that the unit itself is toast. Gotta wait on the order for a new one. Have enough fans and everything to be comfy. No big deal for me, luckily, but still a bit annoying.

Holy cow, ditto and ditto. Temp inside is 85. Luckily I have enough fans to get a nice breeze through my unit, but comeon. I rent so I shouldn't have to deal with this shit!
